After two statesmen are assassinated and two top agents murdered, Quiller, the Bureau's number one agent, travels from Tian'anmen Square, to Seoul, to the Korean mountains on the trail of justice.
In Peking ("Pekin" in British usage) the crowds gather for the funeral
of the Chinese Premier. Quiller reports it: "The British delegates
formed a short line along the side of the catafalque as their leader
placed the Queen's wreath carefully against it; then suddenly the sky
was filled with flowers and the bloodied body of the Secretary of State
was hurled against me by the blast as the coffin exploded."
